Change your bootanimation

[Techwolf12]

Make sure your device is rooted and has a working rom with usb debugging enabled!

How to change it:
download the android SDK and make sure its updated
go to the platform-tools folder
place bootanimation.zip in it
open cmd go to the platform tools folder at cmd and fill in these commands (make sure you got a rooted device and have usb debugging enabled NOT IN FASTBOOT)
adb device (if you see your device its good and get to the next stap)
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
reboot your device now and you will see the new boot animation

Nice idea, but not totally correct.
The path that you gave is correct for some roms, not all. Stock sense roms have bootanimation in system/customize/resources,
The path you gave works if custom bootanimation location is enabled in kitchen while cooking your rom.
So just search a little bit more, widen your tutorial and everything will be perfect.

Plus, in my oppinion there are a few easier ways to change bootanimation.

Here's on how to do it WITHOUT a computer.

Prerequisites :-
Rooted phone
An application that allows root exploration (root explorer, ES File explorer)
A rom that allows custom bootanimation.. I think all roms allow it, but I might be wrong here. Do search it up before attempting.
Bootanimation.zip

Step 1 : Copy your bootanimation to your phone (if you're using a computer)
Step 2 : Navigate to /data/local (for AOSP) or system/customize/resources (for sense. Not sure if path is correct but the poster above mentioned it is.)
Step 3 : Rename the original bootanimation.zip to something else, like bootanimation.zip.bkup, Just incase you need it next time.
Step 4 : Copy the bootanimation you want to /data/local
Step 5 : Reboot
Step 6 : Profit.

Yes, that's native location of bootanimation for sense roms, but it can be change during process of making of rom (same as AOSP). Also all of this doesn't work for MIUI.

Meh, MIUI has a built in changer.

Done this on all my phones, never needed to change permission..

ALSO I'VE NOTICED, some bootanimations are FLASHABLE zips, so do check before you replace it. If you replace the bootanimation with a flashable bootanimation the phone MIGHT NOT boot.

yh, i was going on the fact of not using a computer and moving to data/local, and that way u have to change permissions

Not necessary, cause when you put something in folder it aquires permission of it.
